Simulation and Experimental Investigation of Low‐Speed Centrifugal Pump Coupled With Vertical Ultra‐Low‐Head Turbine for Small‐Scale Irrigation

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
From the reviews, a new concept of a low‐speed centrifugal pump (LSCP) driven by a vertical ultra‐low‐head hydro turbine (VULHT) was designed and tested on simulation and physical setup. It was performed with a 1.8 m delivery head, concluding as inefficient. For ultra‐low‐head conditions, different than centrifugal action is recommended.

Application of a compliant foil bearing for the thrust force estimation in the single stage radial blower

Open Engineering, 2015
The paper presents the application of a compliant foil bearing for estimation of the thrust force in a single stage radial blower under operational conditions. The bump foil of the thrust bearing behaves as a nonlinear spring. The knowledge of the spring

Forced Response Analysis of Dynamic Systems With Inertia Nonlinearity by Applying the Multiharmonic Balance Method

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Nonlinear mechanical vibrations under harmonic forcing can be well approximated by Fourier series. For a finite number of harmonics, the error is minimized over one period of vibration. This technique, known as multiharmonic balance method (MHBM), is today widely used in academics as well as industrial applications, e.g., for friction‐damped ...

A Jacobian‐Free Newton‐Krylov Method for Cell‐Centred Finite Volume Solid Mechanics

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 3, 15 February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a Jacobian‐free Newton‐Krylov approach for finite‐volume solid mechanics. Traditional Newton‐based approaches require explicit Jacobian matrix formation and storage, which can be computationally expensive and memory‐intensive.

Comparative Numerical Studies for the Flow Energy Dissipation Features in a Vertical Two‐Stage Centrifugal Pump in Pump and Turbine Conditions

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 764-779, February 2026.
Based on entropy theory, this study presents a comparative numerical analysis of the flow energy dissipation (FED) in a VTSP under two distinct operating conditions: pump condition and turbine condition, both characterized by relatively high hydraulic efficiencies of 88.9% and 87.4%, respectively. In pump condition, the highest FED production occurs in
